Dear Readers,

My endeavor, since the day I assumed office as the President of AIGMF, has been to promote / increase its visibility globally.

A new look website of the AIGMF (www.aigmf.com) having an attractive design and a user friendly interface has been launched. The quarterly journal, KANCH has been revamped. Response re-assures us that we are on the path of improving quality and readership of the journal.

With a view to encourage interaction with academicians and build familiarity, AIGMF Secretary and Joint Secretary along with Shri A K Gupta, Hon. Treasurer visited Ceramic Department of BHU and had detailed deliberations with Head of Department and other members of the faculty. BHU faculty highly appreciated this interaction and stated that such interactions will give an exposure to academicians with the industry and vice-versa. I request members to come forward with Ideas to take this initiative to its logical conclusion. AIGMF organized an international Seminar on Inclusive Development of Firozabad Glass Art Ware Industry and Adoption of Advance Technology & Design Innovations.

AIGMF put together an Interactive Session on Glass Packaging where International representation was done by Mr Joe Cattaneo of Glass Packaging institute, North America. Mr. Joe explained working of GPI. He informed members about the functioning of North America glass container industry. The session was fruitful as apart from members representation from consumer associations like Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies and Indian Drug Manufacturers' Association also participated.

With the festival of lights around the corner, I convey my best wishes to one and all for Happy Diwali.

Improvement is a continuous process. Suggestions are always welcome. Let us hope that activities of AIGMF in the coming year will be of greater interest to all.

International Seminar on Inclusive Development of Firozabad Glass Art Ware Industry And Adoption of

Advance Technology & Design Innovations (Agra, 27 - 28 August, 2011)

The International Seminar on Inclusive Development of Firozabad Glass Art Ware Industry and Adoption of Advance Technology & Design Innovations was held at Radisson Hotel, Agra on 27th–28th August, 2011.

The All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation (AIGMF) was one of the main partners for the event.

Five international experts from the field of glass art ware from Czech Republic explained, elaborated and expllained in detail various facets of glass art ware in a two-day seminar which was inaugurated by Shri Rohit Bhardwaj, Director, O/o. Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) in the presence of Shri Ravi K. Passi, Co-Chairman NCDPD, Shri Rakesh Kumar- ED EPCH and Shri R K Srivastava, ED-NCDPD.

While addressing the audience comprising entrepreneurs, artisans and crafts persons, glass exporters, manufacturers as well as many others representing the glass art ware industry. The Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) said that Firozabad glass cluster was in dire need of intervention that could give a fillip to the trade and lead to more inclusive development of the cluster.

He said that in today’s globalised world the competition can come from any part of the world and, therefore, the challenge was to take the bull of competition by its horns. “We must make necessary changes and bring about the value addition to make our process more efficient and the products more competitive,” he added.

Chairman EPCH, ED EPCH and Co-chairman NCDPD echoing the same feeling expressed the need for


development of the cluster and hoped that efforts such as this will go a long way in real and inclusive development of the sector. “It is important that the Firozabad glass cluster must adopt the best practices in batchmaking, finishing, decoration, value addition, etc. in order to be competitive in the international export market”, said Shri Ravi. K. Passi, Co- Chairman, NCDPD.

The glass industry has centuries- old tradition of glassware manufacturing in India, and today there is need to change the traditional manufacturing style to international standard as per the international consumer requirement so as to enhance the exports of value added products.

The seminar gave an opportunity to industry representatives to learn from the masters in the glass art

ware field. The distinguished panel of five international experts from Czech Republic with proven credibility in different areas of glass technology interacted and shared their experience in the areas of their expertise and put forward their ideas in brainstorming sessions as well as in one to one meeting with the industry representatives

The seminar was organised to give a direction for setting up a complete roadmap for future development of Firozabad glass industry with a focus on new technology, development of skill better raw material composition and setting up of a glass Training School. The exporters and manufacturers in large number participated in its 2 days program for providing new direction to the Firozabad glass industry.

It was informed that Professors from BHU will be glad to visit glass factories to understand the needs of the industry and work out ways and means to meet their requirements. This will enable them to design the curriculum of the students to suit needs of the industry.

They could also give assignments to the students to work on particular problems relating to production, quality control or any other area that the industry may like to be looked into. Research on specified projects could also be undertaken.

Awarding of decent scholarships and stipend during

training sessions was also suggested particularly with a view to encourage students to join glass industry.

Prof. Agarwal introduced faculty members to the visiting delegation. Prof. Agarwal stated that every year

around 35 students graduate from BHU’s Ceramics Divisionin following courses:

• Bachelor of Technology- 4 year’s course

• Masters of Technology- 4+2 year’s course

• Integrated course (B Tech + M Tech) - 5 years course and

• PHD (in which few students study glass as one of their subjects)

Prof. Om Prakash, Head, Department of Ceramic Technology, BHU stated that Glass Technologists from industry could visit faculty and have interaction with concerned faculty members. Members of the faculty were categorical in saying that such type of interaction will go a long way in reducing dependence of glass industry on imported technology for which a heavy cost has to be paid.

In regard to students joining Glass Industry Prof. Agarwal explained that BHU was no. 2 in placement and all students received offers for placement in the final year of degree course. In response to a query from Secretary AIGMF, Prof. Agarwal stated that the package offered by different companies to the students varied from Rs. 5 to 15 lakhs per annum.

Prof. Agarwal suggested that industry could offer scholarships to students for taking up training in their factories.

The delegation was informed thatBHU was all set to get IIT status and necessary formalities in this regard has been completed. They are waiting for Rajya Sabha approval.The faculty was of the view that their students are not only academicallystrong but at the same time they areintelligent in other areas as well.

The faulty was of the view that it is very important to have closer interaction amongst Industry and

Institutesthrough get-together, programs, etc. The faculty was open for training programs, academic research that could be organised by Industry for both faculty and students. AIGMF was even offered to hold important Glass related meetings and programs in BHU campus.

Mr. A K Gupta offered AIGMF platform to BHU members. He informed the faculty that they could participate in programs organised by the AIGMF. This will also encourage exchange of ideas and information.

He mentioned that it is of utmost importance for existing professionals to constantly update themselves with latest developments to enhance their existing skills through workshops, etc., which could be organized by Universities/AIGMF from time to time.

Dr. Devendra Kumar was of the view that academician/researchers from University should also be taken along with delegation to international destinations so that findings could well be utilized for the benefit of students who will in turn help Industry.

Piramal glass wins ‘Best HR strategy in line with biz’ award

Award won at the second best employer brand awards 2011

Piramal Glass Limited (PGL), a part of the Ajay Piramal led Piramal Group won the “Award for the Best HR Strategy in Line with Business” at the 2nd Best Employer Brand Awards 2011 hosted by Employer Branding Institute-India and World HRD Congress held in Singapore.

2200 entries received from 33 countries were thoroughly scrutinized by an eminent Jury consisting of eclectic personalities from across the world. Around 400 top CEOs and Presidents HR of all these countries were present at the function.

Piramal Glass is a leading global manufacturer of flaconnage (glass containers) for Cosmetics & Perfumery, Specialty Food & Beverages and Pharmaceutical industry. It has manufacturing in 3 countries – India, USA and Sri Lanka and markets its products in over 50 countries.

Piramal Glass’s overarching business strategy has a clearly demarcated People Care, Asset Care and Process Care. As a part of People Care, Piramal Glass undertakes an extensive Employee Engagement study every year in conjunction with a leading international consultancy Gallup. With persistent action planning involving training, learning and development, Piramal Glass has now achieved global benchmarks on employee engagement as observed by Gallup.

Commenting on this award, Vijay Shah, managing director Piramal Glass mentioned, “Piramal Glass has consciously pursued global standards for our People, Products, Processes, Partnerships and Performance. People care is an integral part of our business strategy and this award is a validation and recognition of our work. We try and look after the physical, psychological, spiritual, financial, educational, familial aspects of each employee. Our persistent employee engagement scores bear testimony to this.”

Indian glass: spectacular growthIndians are buying more of everything – from cars

to houses to packaged food – spurring a double-digit growth in demand for materials for these industries, not least glass.


To cope with rising demand, glass manufacturers of the country plan to invest Rs. 70bn (or $1.6bn) over the next two-to-three years on expansion and upgrading, according to Mr. Mukul Somany, the president of All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation and the vice-chairman of Hindustan National Glass, one of India’s leading glass producers.

India’s per capita glass consumption is 1.4 kg for container glass, used for making jars and bottles, and 0.8 kg for flat glass, used in the construction and automotive industry. This is much lower than the 8-9 kgs per person average for both types of glass in other developing countries such as China, Thailand and Malaysia. In the developed world, the average is 20–22 kg.

Starting from a low base, the Rs. 90bn ($2bn) glass industry in India is forecast by the Federation to grow at 10 – 12 per cent annually over the next 3 years.

Most of the glass demand in India currently comes from container glass, which accounts for 50 per cent of the country’s glass consumption by value. With a market size of Rs. 45bn, bulk of this type of glass is domestically produced and used for soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, food and pharmaceuticals.

Lifestyle changes and rising disposable incomes have pushed up the sales of alcohol, ready-meals and other processed foods, usually stored in glass bottles and jars. This could stimulate demand for container glass, which is forecast to grow at 12 per cent annually over the next 3 years.

The other big use of glass in the country, accounting for 40 per cent of the use by value, is in the construction and the automotive industries. And in this segment, demand, arising from the country’s strong growth in the sales of cars and the erection of new buildings, is expected

to grow at 15 – 18 per cent over the same period.

In fact, the country’s demand for flat glass is so high that it imports 8 per cent of its requirements. While 60 per cent of the glass used in the construction industry, accounting for 80 per cent of the flat glass usage, is domestically produced, only 40 per cent of the glass used for car windows is domestically produced, prompting foreign glass manufacturers to enter India’s lucrative market.

Saint Gobain, the French glass maker, and Asahi, from Japan, hold 35 per cent and 20 per cent market shares.

Hindustan National Glass, is investing Rs. 8.5bn (or $191m) over the three years to try to increase its share to 33 per cent in the next three years.

So the plans are laid for big capital investments in Indian glass making. The only concern is that the current moderation in economic growth could force companies to slow down.

Compulsory Beverage Container Deposit to be introduced to Fiji soon

A new Container Deposit and Refund Recycling System will start in Fiji soon to ensure all beverage containers are recycled.

Environment Minister, Colonel Samuela Saumatua said the Container Deposit system starts with the producers and importers adding a compulsory deposit for every beverage produced or imported.

He said the deposits from the producers and importers will be paid into a revolving fund to be managed by the Managing Agency.

Colonel Saumatua said retailers will then sell the beverages to consumers with the increased deposit amount to reflect the deposit paid by the producers and importers.

After the consumption of the beverage, the consumer can return the used container to licensed collectors and claim a refund of their deposit less a handling fee.

The Minister said the collector will buy the used containers from the consumer for a lesser amount and then take the collected materials to the processor for recycling.

Amendments to the Environment Regulation now include producers of plastic bottles, glass bottles and aluminum cans.

Colonel Saumatua said Fiji consumes some 50 million containers of beverage.

Few of these containers are recycled while millions are discarded improperly ending up on the streets, in waterways and beaches.

Glass Elite meet at Heye International “Future of Glass” Symposium 2011

The motto for September5-6 symposium was “The Future of Glass”. More than 50 experts from the glass industry came together at the Heye International Symposium. The guest list consisted of representatives from leading glass container manufacturers throughout the world, including the United States, Mexico, China, India, Thailand, Russia and, of course, Germany and Europe.

On the first day, the topic of future trends was on the agenda. Futurologist Patrick W. Jordan gave a preview

of Super Trends for the 21st Century, which was followed by a quantitative forecast of the global glass market by Euromonitor. This led to a wider discussion between the speakers and the audience about strategies and opportunities for the container glass industry. After this look into the future of glass manufacturing, the evening was a journey into the past, at the “Gernheim Glassworks” industrial museum. A traditional glass maker hand-blew an historic storage jar, as used in the 19th Century for preserving food, before the very eyes of the fascinated visitors.

The second day was marked with customers’ success stories and discussions on technical solutions for the production process, the underlying objective being to find ways to produce container glass even more efficiently and more sustainably. Solutions for assortment production and the new press duration control system were discussed, as well as innovative camera-based inspection systems.

The programme was rounded off by a visit to the city of Hamelin, home of the famous Pied Piper of Hamelin. The symposium guests appreciated the balanced programme and talked of it as one of the best industry-related events in recent years. As a result of the very positive feedback, Heye International will continue this series of events in the future.

Glasstec 2012: Prof. Udo Ungeheuer new PresidentProf. Dr.-Ing. Udo Ungeheuer, Chairman of the

Board of SCHOTT AG, is the new President of glasstec 2012. He succeeds Martin Gregor Gutmann, the Federal Guild Master of the Glazier Trades. In line with the biannual cycle of glasstec presidency alternates between the Federal Association of the Glass Industry (BV Glas e.V.), which is also chaired by Ungeheuer as a President, and the Federal Association of Glazier Trades (BIV). Both organisations serve as conceptual sponsors for glasstec alongside the Association of German Machine and Plant Builders (VDMA e.V.).


“glasstec is the world’s most important trade fair for the glass sector and a key generator of impulses in the industry. As President I am therefore delighted to be involved in the successful planning and implementation of the 2012 event,” says Professor Ungeheuer.

Wine In Moderation, Art De Vivre “Likes” Friends of Glass Recycling Action on Facebook

The European Wine sector’s Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre campaign joins forces with Friends of Glass to spread the word about drinking responsibly. The “Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre” message is featured as part of a Facebook recycling game called “Pass the Bottle” where friends are invited to recycle their glass bottle, after sharing a virtual drink with each other.

The Pass the Bottle Campaign uses a Facebook game to bring people together to play and learn about environmental and social responsible behaviour in a funny and rewarding way.

The Pass the Bottle game promotes the recycling of glass as the only material that can go through the bottle-to-bottle closed loop recycling chain. Glass can be recycled infinitely in a new bottle ready to go again and again and avoid using new raw materials

The game winners are crowned “recycling champions” and win a real bottled product of their choice among a variety of delicious product.

Only those winners that are over 18 years old may choose and receive a bottle of wine to reward them for their recycling effort. If they opt for the wine, they are invited to read and apply the guidelines provided by the Wine in Moderation platform inviting to a moderate and responsible wine consumption.

The pan-European initiative “Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre” promotes moderation and responsibility in the consumption of wines and reminds that each wine is a natural and unique product with a unique cultural heritage. Only moderate drinking allows savouring the unique character and quality of wine. Glass contributes to promote these unique characteristics and to fully preserve quality and taste.

Having a nice glass of wine responsibly, with

friends is a social pleasure and ensuring that your glass bottle is recycled is an environmental one. We are very pleased that “Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre” and the Friends of Glass recycling initiative – Pass the Bottle - is encouraging a cultural change in the consumption and recycling habits of consumers.” says Niall Wall – President of the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE) which initiated the Friends of Glass campaign.

The “Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre” campaign is a major campaign from the wine sector that encourages people to adopt responsible drinking habits. The Friends of Glass consumer forum counting thousands of consumers is helping the sector to spread the “Wine in Moderation – Art de Vivre” message.

“We are committed to broaden the partnership among relevant constituencies in the wine value chain to support our efforts to inform and educate stakeholders and to appreciate wine responsibly in moderation, thus contributing to the goals of the EU Strategy to support Members states to tackle alcohol-related harm” declares George Sandeman, spokesperson of the WIM programme. “We are proud to sign this partnership with an initiative such as Friends of Glass which works also to enhance sustainable and responsible behaviour among stakeholders and consumers.”

Glass fibre joint venture in India / US company’s first manufacturing venture on the sub-continent

US coatings and specialty chemicals manufacturer PPG (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; www.ppg.com) has tentatively agreed to form a joint venture with Indian company Harsha Exito Engineering (Chennai; www.harshaexito.com) to produce and sell glass-fibre reinforced products in the state of Tamil Nadu. Product is to be sold within India. A final transaction is subject to due diligence and further negotiations, the US company said.

According to Thomas Kerr, PPG vice president, fiber glass, the projected expansion of the Indian economy will help drive demand for glass fibre in such end-use applications as infrastructure, transportation and wind energy. PPG does not currently produce glass fibre in India; however, it does export to the region.

What Is Glass Coatings?In the coating of glass bottles or containers, there

are two complementary technologies; one in the hot end (Hot End Coating) of the plant and a second one in the cold end (Cold End Coating).

The Hot End Coating deposits a very thin and protective layer of metal oxide on the surface of the bottles in order to improve its technical performance.

The Cold End Coating of the bottle surface is a complementary treatment that consists of coating on the surface of the bottle with a very thin layer of wax based material to decrease the friction coefficient, thereby reducing scuffing & breakages.

CONTAINER GLASS COATINGS (Dexter Chan, Arkema Pte Ltd, Singapore)

Fig 2 shows the difference between the deterioration of the Burst Pressure of bottle with no coating & bottle with both hot & cold end coatings.

The Main Benefits of CoatingsBy applying suitable coatings on glass bottles or

containers, it brings about several benefits not only to the glass manufacturers, but also to the fillers & customers.

1. Maintain the initial strength of the bottles and prevent most of the initial strength from deteriorating.

Hot End CoatingThe Hot End Coating process is carried by injecting

a coating chemical into a coating hood. On the hot surface of the glass bottle, the decomposition of the coating chemical into an inorganic metal oxide takes place.

This metal oxides layer filled up the micro-crack on the surface of the bottle and also function as a primer for the second step later on applied cold end coating. (see fig. 3)

The thickness of the Hot End layer is commonly

Fig 4 shows the typical decomposition of MBTC into Tin oxide & various gases and deposition of Tin oxide on glass surface.

expressed as “CTU” – Coating Thickness Unit. 1 CTU is equivalent to 0.25nm. A typical coating thickness is about 30 to 50 CTU which correspond to 7.5nm to 12.5nm

Hot End Coating ChemistryTin base chemistry is the most commonly used

coating chemistry in the glass coating industry today. They are Tin Tetrachloride & Monobutyltin Trichloride (MBTC), the latter being the most preferred. Monobutyltin Trichloride is more stable and easy to handle and produce less HCl gases than Tin Tetrachloride.


The ideal specification of the Hot End Coating thickness & uniformity is 40 CTU +/- 5 CTU.

Hot End Coating HoodThe Hot End Coating hood is the equipment that

will vaporize the coating chemical (MBTC) and distribute the vaporize chemical inside the tunnel and allow the chemical to be deposited onto the glass surface, when the

Measurement of Hot End Layer ThicknessThe Hot End layer is measured by the aid of a Hot

End Coating meter manufactured by American Glass Research (AGR). This equipment is specially designed to detect Tin oxide deposit and thereby measuring its thickness. It is imperative that the hot end coating thickness obtained is uniform across the surface of the bottle coated in order to achieve the desired results.

Fig 5 shows the spherical shapes of Tin oxide on the glass surface under microscope.

Fig. 6 shows the different CTU having a different effect on the scratch resistance, with CTU at 40 to 50 achieving best result.


from top to bottom or circumferential unevenness of a bottle

• Not being able to achieve desired coating CTU

• Too much coating at the Finish (bottle mouth) area

• “Silvery” streaks appearance on the bottle.

• High deposition of coating material inside the inner wall of the hood.

The problems are attributed to several reasons:

• Poor hood designs.

• Malfunction of blowers

• Improper set up of the mid section and the hood.

• Under capacity of the hood.

• Operating the hood beyond the recommended temperature range.

• Using too much coating chemical.

Cold End CoatingCold End Coating is carried out using a spray bridge

located after the annealing lehr. This is when the bottles after exiting the annealing lehr will be much cooler at temperature between 120 to 80 deg C.

bottle is passes through the hood.

Basically, the hood is made up of the hood body with mid section, different types of blowers and pump. The mid-section form the chamber inside the hood where it is always saturated with the coating chemical and where the coating of the bottle takes place. Blowers such as circulation blower deliver & circulate the coating chemical inside the hood. Exhaust blower is to remove the gases such as HCl etc. Hoods are also equipped with heater & cooling blower to allow the operation to be conducted in the desired temperature range of 120 to 160 deg C. Advance hoods are equipped with features like PLC controller, sensors, digital scale etc to ensure a trouble free operation.

Depending on the line speed of the bottles i.e. number of bottles per minutes, it is imperative to choose the correct type of hood to ensure the desired coating performance can be achieved. Hoods come in different length & height to accommodate the line speed as well as the height of the bottles. Mid-section also comes in different shapes & sizes to accommodate the different container such as wide mouth jars etc.

Common Problems With Hot End CoatingsSome common problems encountered are:

• Non uniform or uneven coating thickness, whether

Various Ways of Cold End Applications

Figures 7 to 9 shows the various way of applying cold end coating. Figure 7 shows the overhead spray system. Figure 8 shows the adjustment of angle of spray nozzles to get the best results. Figure 9 shows top & under belt spray coating to get a more homogenous coating on the bottle especially for tall bottles.

Cold End Coating products are mainly emulsion based on polyethylene wax, other polymer waxes, ester waxes, and surfactants of state types. The coating emulsion is usually diluted 1:100 with de-ionized water before they are applied onto the bottle by spraying.

All material used in the manufacturing of the Cold End Coating products must conform to the CFR 21 of FDA regulations or other similar regulations of food additives.

Fig 7

Fig 8


Common Problems with Cold End Coating (CEC)The most common problems are:

• Spray of CEC material inside the bottles or containers.

• Growth of micro-organisms or bacteria in the CEC product or in the feed system.

• Applying the CEC at the incorrect temperature range.

• Overly coating of CEC.

And the consequences of the above problems will lead to contamination of CEC material inside the containers or bottles, clogging of the feed system or spray nozzles, white spots or patches or over runs on the glass surface and label adhesion.

Figures below show the types of problems.

Methods To Assess Cold End CoatingThere are various methods to assess the Cold End

Coating distribution & surface properties.

• Tilt Table – measure lubricity of bottle

• Scratch Tester – determine scratch resistance and friction.

• Testing Inks – CEC distribution

• Aluminum Powder – CEC distribution

• Surface Microscopy.

ConclusionBoth Hot End Coating & Cold End Coating will

go a long way in protecting the bottles or containers from damage such as scratches or breakages during the handling, filling and transportation of the bottles or containers.

oading of the gob into the blank mould is an important sub-process in the production of glass containers. Many forming specialists agree that

70%-90% of critical defects are due to a bad gob loading. Bad gob loading is also a main cause for section stops.

XPAR Vision’s Gob Assist development monitors the speed, length, position, shape, orientation, time of arrival and trajectory of the gobs falling into blank moulds, without coming in contact with them. With this information, it is easily possible to find and maintain optimal gob loading and to retrieve optimal gob loading after equipment and/or job changes.

In addition, the advantages confirmed by customer trials are numerous:

Reduced downtime: Due mainly to fewer blockages of cavities due to bad loading, as well as fewer changes of blank moulds, deflectors and troughs.

Paul Schreuders is CEO of XPAR Vision

XPAR Vision BV, Groningen, The Netherlandstel: +31 50 316 2888email: [email protected]: www.xparvision.com

these aspects of loading, it could be concluded that the loading process leaves a lot of room for improvement. Nevertheless, this is where the industry is today.

In the knowledge that with Gob Assist, it is possible to reduce these variations (position variation less than 2mm), it can be concluded that significant gains are within reach. The potential for (ultra) lightweight production should be obvious. A consistently accurate loading position means (very) low variations in glass (thickness) distribution, which is a precondition for (ultra) lightweighting.

Increased efficiency and productivity: Efficiency increases due, for example, to reduced swabbing cycles, increased lifetime of moulds, deflectors and troughs, reduced oil usage and optimised coating.

Improved quality of output: Good loading reduces the number of related defects as glass distribution (thin glass), visual defects, stuck bottoms, freaks and/or deformations of body.

Increased job change performance: Good gob loading leads to increased job change performance due to a reduction of variations over sections (by defining guidelines for time of arrival, dimensions, speed and position and by using availability of reference data from previous runs), due to a sustainable set-up of the delivery system (height, X/Y position etc) and due to the knowledge of the influence of cleaning, material changes etc.

Particularly striking is the insight to the gob loading process provided by one customer. The gob loading performance of a ‘well organised’ production line (NNPB, beer, lightweight, high speed) was monitored for a period of several weeks. Figure 1 shows the position (above) and speed (below) of gob loading over a two week production period. Immediately, the huge variation of position and speed during loading (position deviation in a range of 10mm) can be observed. Also and mainly with regard to the position, many step-wise changes can be observed. These step-wise changes are caused by operator action; an ultimate example of how operators by action introduce process variation, causing inefficiencies and lower qualities. Looking at

Refillable glass bottles collected, and deposits refunded, at a collection point in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Deposit values (from 0.5 to 2 Kyrgyz som, i.e. 2-5 US cents) for various bottle types are posted next to the sample bottles on a rack.

Container-deposit legislation is any law that requires collection of a monetary deposit on soft-drink, juice, milk, water, alcoholic-beverage, and/or other containers at the point of sale. When the container is returned to an authorized redemption center, or to the original seller in some jurisdictions, the deposit is partly or fully refunded to the redeemer (presumed to be the original purchaser).

Governments may pass container deposit legislation for several reasons:

• to encourage recycling and complement existing curbside recycling programs

• to specifically reduce beverage container litter along highways, in lakes and rivers, and on other public or private properties (where beverage container litter occurs, a nominal deposit provides an economic incentive to clean it up; this is in fact a significant source of income to some individuals and non-profit civic organizations[citation needed]

• to extend the usable lifetime of taxpayer-supported community or regional landfills, and;

• to protect children by reducing the likelihood of glass lacerations.

Deposits that are not redeemed are often used (escheated) by the governmental entity involved to fund environmental programs; sometimes they are used to cover the costs of processing returned containers.

CONTAINER-DEPOSIT LEGISLATION BY COUNTRY

AUSTRALIAThe state of South Australia currently has a refund

of 10 cents per can or bottle (raised from 5 cents in late 2008). In the 1970s deposits ranged from 20c for a 30 oz bottle and 10c for a 10 oz and 6½ oz bottle. With the introduction of plastic and non re-usable bottles the deposit was reduced to 5c (including aluminium cans). This amount remained unchanged for around thirty years.

A recent innovation has seen the deposit extended to paper cartons e.g. flavoured milk and orange juice.

Container Deposit Legislation(Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The Environment Protection Act 1993 (SA) governs the levying and refund of deposits. The value of deposits and the scope of their application have been influenced by the Australian federal constitution’s guarantee of free trade between the states. The defining case in this issue was the attempt to introduce a differential between re-usable and re-cyclable bottle deposits. The issue was taken to the High Court of Australia - Castlemaine Tooheys Ltd v South Australia.

Around 600 people are employed in the recovery of bottles in South Australia. Groups such as the Scouts operate container refund depots. While there are professional collectors who collect on an arranged basis from particular venues (e.g. pubs and restaurants), usually operating small trucks for the job, there are also many socially marginalised collectors who forage in refuse bins etc. for discarded deposit bottles; these collectors often travel by bicycle, sometimes with relatively elaborate and inventive modifications to allow them to carry the bulky loads of bottles they find.

Victoria had a scheme, but it was rescinded. In 2009, such a scheme was reintroduced, but then after the Victorian Greens bill for a 10c deposit scheme was passed in State Government, it was again rescinded.

The Northern Territory is set to introduce a container deposit scheme like South Australia’s from late 2011.

A national scheme has also been proposed. Attempts to introduce similar legislation in other states have been unsuccessful to date.

CANADAMany provinces in Canada have deposit refund

systems in place for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage containers: glass, plastic, aluminum, and tetrapak containers have deposit requirements in various provinces. Deposits range from 5¢ to 40¢ per unit.

Ontario’s system of deposit refunds for beer bottles, through “The Beer Store” (The Beer Store is owned by three Ontario brewers: Labatt, Molson and Sleeman), has close to a 100% return rate. The bottles can be cleaned and reused 15 to 20 times. Effective February 5, 2007, Ontario’s container deposit applies to wine and spirit, in addition to beer containers. However, even though spirits may only be purchased at government run stores (LCBO) and wine may only be purchased there and at specialty wine shops and directly from wineries, these bottles may only be returned for deposit refund at The Beer Store.


GERmANYIn Germany container deposit legislation, known as

Pfand or Einwegpfand (single-use deposit), was passed in 2002, and was implemented on 1 January 2003.[citation needed] However, its implementation was fought by lobby groups of German bottling industry and retailers. This fight also included trials at the Federal Administrative Court of Germany and the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, but all trials were won by the German federal government.The deposit legislation does not cover containers for fruit juice, wine, spirits, liquors, and certain dietary drinks.

As of 2010, the standard deposit for all single-use containers (cans, single-use glass and plastic bottles) is € 0.25.

Before 2002, there also were various (still existing) deposit systems for re-usable bottles, e.g. for beer or carbonated water bottles. The deposits for reusable bottles are not regulated by law since they are the private business of the individual beverage manufacturer and can therefore vary in rate. Nonetheless there are some standard rates that are widely used:[citation needed]

Glass bottles for most beer and beer mixed drinks (usually up to 0.5 litre): € 0.08

Reusable glass and plastic bottles for most soft drinks (usually up to 2 litres): € 0.15

Reusable glass bottles of a special kind and design (usually flip-top bottles for beer): between € 0.15 and € 0.50

Before introduction of the Euro (€), deposit was 15 Pfennig for reusable (beer) glass-bottles and usually 30 Pfennig for reusable glass and plastic bottles.[citation needed]

NETHERLANDSPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) soda bottles carry

a 25-cent deposit. For PET deposit bottles, a return rate of 95% (26,6 kton) is reported, compared to 66% (11,3 kton) of non-deposit PET bottles (2010). Glass beer bottles carry a 10-cent deposit with a further 1,50 euro deposit for the plastic crate. The return rate for deposit glass bottles is around 90% (=2160 million)(2009).

NEW ZEALANDNew Zealand had no container-deposit legislation

until 2008 when the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 passed into law. The Act has provision for product stewardship of which container-deposit legislation is the most familiar type. As of 2010 there is no widespread deposits available on containers.

THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: Container deposit legislation is widespread in the

Nordic countries. In some cases it replaced legislations which forbid the selling of some types of beverage containers, particularly aluminium beverage cans.

DENmARKIn Denmark the selling of aluminium beverage cans

was forbidden between 1982 and 2002. However this regulation violated European Union law. Therefore the EU forced Denmark to replace it, and the new legislation, passed in 2002, was in fact a container deposit legislation. It established the following container deposits:• Refillable glass bottles up to and incl. 0.5 litres:

1.00 DKK• Refillable glass bottles over 0.5 litres: 3.00 DKK• Cans, glass and plastic bottles under 1 litre: 1.00

DKK• Exception: Plastic bottles of 0.5 litres: 1.50 DKK• Cans, glass and plastic bottles of 1 litre and over:

3.00 DKK

NORWAYSimilarly to the situation in Denmark, the selling

of aluminium beverage cans was forbidden in Norway up until the end of the 20th century. In 1999 a container deposit legislation was passed, which also abolished this regulation. Today, there are the following container deposits in Norway:

• Cans, glass and plastic bottles up to 0.5 litre: 1.00 NOK

• Cans, glass and plastic bottles over 0.5 litre: 2.50 NOK

• Bottle crates are also reverse vended.

Norsk Resirk is the non-profit system founded 3 May 1999 and co-owned by various organisations in trade and industry that handles the depositing and recycling non-refillable plastic bottles and beverage cans in Norway. The Norwegian system works in such a way that the excise tax decreases as the returns increases, meaning that for example 90 per cent returns for cans translates into a 90 per cent discount on the excise tax. This again allows drink products to be sold at lower prices.

In 2005 93% of all recyclable bottles and 80% of all drink cans in Norway returned into the deposit and recycling system. That year also saw 280 million NOK in deposits being paid for the return of 194 million cans and 49 million bottles.

Deposits on drink containers have a long history in Norway, starting with deposits on beer bottles in 1902. The deposit back then was 0,06 NOK (3,30 NOK in 2006 currency value). This deposit arrangement was later


expanded to include soft drink bottles.

Up until 1 January 2001 the Vinmonopolet government wine and spirits monopoly chain had deposits on products made by the company itself, this did not include imported products.

All sellers of deposit marked drinking containers are required by law to accept returns of empty containers for cash. Today drink containers can be returned and deposits retrieved at over 9,000 establishments in Norway, and there are almost 3,000 reverse vending machines where drink containers can be exchanged for receipts that can be cashed in at the counter. Most reverse vending machines in Norway are manufactured by Tomra Systems ASA.

SWEDENIn Sweden, there are deposits on nearly all containers

for consumption-ready beverages. Of the aluminium cans and PET bottles affected by the deposit that are sold, 91% and 84% are returned respectively. The return rates for the two glass bottle types are 99% and 90% respectively.

AB Svenska Returpack is responsible for the deposit system for aluminium cans and PET bottles. The aluminum cans have had a deposit since 1984, and PET bottles since 1994. Svensk GlasÅtervinning AB is responsible for the deposit system of glass bottles. The bottles were first standardized in 1885.

Until 1998, the hard alcohol and wine bottles sold at Systembolaget — the government owned alcohol retail monopoly — had a deposit as well, but due to the deregulation of the Systembolaget’s suppliers, the former sole supplier V&S Group dropped the deposit on their bottles due to the restricted bottle shapes giving V&S a disadvantage compared to the competitors. The bottles could be returned and deposit refunded until early 1999 at Systembolaget.

The legislation regarding container deposit systems was updated so that from January 1, 2006 containers from other plastics and metals, e.g. steel cans, can be included in the deposit systems. The law also makes it illegal in Sweden to sell consumption-ready beverages in containers that are not part of an authorized Swedish container deposit system, with the exception of beverages that mainly consist of dairy products or vegetable, fruit, or berry juice.

UNITED KINGDOmUntil the turn of the 21st century most British

bottled beer was sold (in pubs) in standard pint or half-pint bottles, although some brewers preferred their own distinctive designs. However, in the absence of legislation, and given the switch from pub to supermarket sales, the industry has now entirely abandoned refillable bottles. Container bottle deposits existed until the mid-1980s.

In Scotland, some Barr products in 750ml glass bottles, still have a £0.30 container deposit. Some Tesco stores have reverse vending machines which pay £0.005 per aluminium can (equivalent value in Tesco Clubcard Points). Furthermore, the landmark Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 passed by the Scottish Parliament contains within it powers for Scottish ministers to implement a national scheme.

UNITED STATESThe United States container-deposit legislation is

popularly called “bottle bills” after the Oregon Bottle Bill, the first container deposit legislation passed in the U.S.

Efforts to pass container deposit legislation in the 39 states that do not have them are often politically contentious. The U.S. beverage container industry --- including both the bottlers of water, soda, beer, and the corporate owners of grocery stores, and convenience stores --- often spends large amounts of money lobbying against the introduction of both new and amended beverage container deposit legislation.

magine what it would be like to see inside the blank mould while the parison is being formed in

real-time in each cavity? What would be seen going wrong?

Improper loading of the gob due to a sticky plunger, resulting in loading through the neck ring?

Erratic plunger up movement due to leaky valves, resulting in incorrect parison forming?

Too much glass, resulting in finish defects?

Retraction difficulties of the plunger that damage the parison and ultimately the mould equipment?

Lag time between events that reduces the forming cycle time, resulting in longer machine dead time?

Surely, most of these difficulties can be addressed by trial and error or by an experienced bottle maker. What if it is necessary to squeeze every fraction of a second out of the forming cycle to increase speeds? What if you

cannot accept any forming inefficiencies that lower yields to below the best practices in the glass industry? Everyone will agree that having the capability to see what is happening inside the blank mould, while the parison is being formed, would allow glassmakers to resolve these issues effectively.

Although many process control systems exist for controlling the forming of the parison in NNPB, none have been able to provide a view of the entire plunger stroke in a virtual real-time display like the Quantum Total Forming Analysis (TFA) system. This system was designed specifically to reveal key information previously hidden during the forming process and to provide timing-correlated data and information unattainable in the past (figure 1).

Commercially available process control systems show only the ending strokes or the full stroke without the intended timing commands but what is displayed only tells part of the story. What happens to the plunger before it gets to the dwell position or how the plunger mechanisms are responding to the timing commands is most certainly missing.

Using Quantum’s patented Tube-Within-a-Tube (TWT)


Douglas Harding is Director of Sales and Marketing at Quantum Engineered Products

technology with full length electronic sensors and process control capabilities in its plunger mechanism allows for real-time display of the intended timing commands against the actual movement of the plunger

cylinder components. In other words, an operator can ‘see’ first-hand inside the blank side moulds during the forming process and make immediate adjustments while the parison is being formed, resulting in higher

quality glass containers and improved yields both in NNPB and blow/blow processes.

Imagine being able to see the improper loading of the gob in each cavity or too much glass in the cavity (figures 2 and 3). Corrective action can immediately be taken to examine a leaky valve in the section mechanism or resolve a mechanical problem with the mechanism. By looking at the event timing of corresponding mechanism functions, it is also possible to define areas where machine dead-time can be exposed and corrective action taken to increase speeds. The Quantum TWT technology collects parison forming process information for the operators so that they can see exactly what is going right - and wrong - inside the blank side moulds while each container

is being formed. With the proper internet connections, the TFA display can also be accessed remotely by plant management to see machine performance and by Quantum to resolve forming issues.

Via technical developments in software and hardware technology, Quantum’s TFA is now able to tie in the monitoring capabilities to control gob weight at the feeder. The hardware is designed to handle signals from up to 48 cavities, although in recent installations, the TFA has been tied to signals taken from two separate sections of the machine. Most importantly, the TFA can be coupled to any OEM timing system for monitoring the performance of any Quantum plunger. The capabilities to reduce machine dead-time to safely improve speeds and forming performance for higher pack-to-melt rates are now attainable with Quantum’s TFA process control (figure 4). In any forming process!

What this development brings to the table changes everything to improve the initial forming of the glass container and remove the guess work of what each change to the forming process means. It provides real steps to ‘intelligent automation’.

Having the capability to control the forming process is important. However, having the right information needed to make proper decisions and solve forming problems is essential for optimum performance and high yields in glass container production.


Global Competitiveness is of paramount concern to the engineering community worldwide. The demand of customers is ever rising in terms of product quality and service. Engineers have to keep pace with changing world by continuously improving their process and productivity. Experts across the world believe that focusing on continuous improvements of core business and engineering process within an organization will lead to a meaningful sustainable production of highest quality at competitive cost.

Each one of us has a role to perform in this process and find creative ways to improve our day to day working for staying locally and globally competitive. Quality and cost should be the key focus for process improvements. Team work with methodology can result in improvements significant in changing the performance.

Every day so many of us arrive at job in factories and offices. We do our job and work hard at them but improvement is not the same as “working hard”. One of the important parts of our resource is supervisors/workers who rarely are asked to use their brains to improve the work through involvement. Involvement brings a new dimension in working. People are truly involved only when they have an innovative contribution to make in their work and finding ways to do better. To fulfill needs for recognition and self-development, each one needs opportunity to be provided to share his creativity and talent.

A participative suggestion system is simple yet powerful method for providing opportunities to people on daily basis to display their abilities and talent. The system of building involvement creates opportunity for creative improvement which is something every employee is capable of. Most of such ideas come from front line employees who are connected to actual work in detail. A participative system encourages the creativity of each employee in the company, drawing on the cumulative effect of many small ideas. It provides quick and ongoing feedback from a person or his supervisor directly.

Implementation is one of the key features that distinguish between failure and success of suggestion system. So many companies ask employees to deposit their ideas in a suggestion box. Make them wait to hear something from corporate suggestion committee. Since these systems often allow people to submit vague complaints or suggestions for other departments, many suggestions are stall while bringing out actual response. When nothing comes out, a natural dissatisfaction discourages employees from participating in future.

Improvement a Key for Success(Sanjay Ganjoo, Chief Operating Officer, Asahi India Glass Ltd.)

The system should be like Walking suggestion where managers/supervisors actively ask their employees for ideas about improving the work they do together. Since focus is on improving one’s own process, proposed ideas for improvements are much more likely to be within the employee’s ability. The support from managers is key for success of system to ensure prompt evaluation and feedback on proposals to keep employees motivated. The participation levels in Japanese companies are much higher as compared to some other countries. Toyota receives about two million ideas each year and implements more than 80% of them.

Ideas are valuable only if they can be implemented.

WORK PLACE MANAGEMENTWhen we were growing up, our parents would insist

us to keep the things at right places at home. They were very strict with us and never allowed to keep house unorganized without explaining the theory of reorganization and maintenance but we grew up doing that. Now we learn it as a theory popularly known as “5 S”. “Reorganisation” (SEIRI), “Maintenance” (SEITON), “Clean up” ( SEISO), “Cleanliness” (SEIKETSU) and “Proper Attitude” (SHITSUKE) are the basics of any job

What is 5S? Generally people tend to think that 5S means just cleaning. It is more than just clean-up. 5S’ indicate the starting letter of 5 Japanese words which explain about good housekeeping methods and that is the reason why it is called 5S. Housekeeping enhances the result of other activities and simplifies everyday work.

5S is a way of managing the workspace with the intention of improving efficiency by eliminating waste. 5S is a culture.

It is a system to organize the workplace, keeping it in an orderly manner and using visual cues like signboards, display boards, labels, arrow marks, etc. to achieve more consistent operational results. In this way, time is not wasted in looking for things and inventory and wastages are controlled.

Waste is an enemy. It drives up cost ↑ and quality↓ down.

Benefits of 5S:When you clean up everything inside out, you

can visualize all shortcomings which lead to fewer breakdowns and safe environment. 5S if followed correctly will result in a safe working environment. Clean environment improves safety. Visual management


is important so that everyone will know that there is a problem. Visual control grabs our senses and alerts us to an abnormality. When everything is spick and span, an abnormality is instantly noticed.

Cleaning leads to visual inspection. While cleaning the environment, you are sure to notice malfunctions like breakages, misalignments, leaks, cracks, etc. This when left unattended, can lead to failure, resulting in loss of production or defective production. When workplace is organized and workflow is smooth, wastages are reduced and preventive maintenance is carried out, resulting in improved process quality. Preventive maintenance should be used to tackle problems. The root cause of problem should be identified and eliminated.

Since things are organized, you do not waste time in searching and a lot of precious time is saved.

A sparkling clean and organized workplace raises employee morale. It becomes a happy workplace. Employees automatically get to interact with one another because of 5S rounds and other communications. It creates a sense of belongingness and you will derive job satisfaction.

5S is a cyclical methodology;Seiri – The 1st S meaning Sort. You have to sort the

necessary and unnecessary. The unnecessary has to be disposed and the necessary to be retained. In the necessary, there may be items which you require everyday, some may be required maybe once in a month, some once in 6 months. You have to keep the ones you require daily, near to your workplace, the ones that are required less often should be kept at a slightly faraway place. The items that are required maybe once in 6 months or once in a year, maybe kept in the stores.

In case you have doubts about the requirement of an item, you should put a red-tag and mention the time period on the tag, say 3 months or 6 months. After that period, check again whether the item has been required anytime. In case you have doubts that this will not be required anymore, dispose it off maybe as scrap.

The advantage of this is you get valuable floor space and damaged and excess material is disposed. The workplace has a better look. It gives a feel-good factor. Involvement of all levels of personnel is present. That creates a sense of belongingness to the company.

Seiton – the 2nd S means ‘Set In order” OR ‘Systematic Arrangement’. A place for everything and everything in its place. (Organise, identify and arrange everything in a work area) After you complete the first ‘S’, your workplace is clear of unnecessary items. This has created some extra square footage for you. Now is the time to create efficient and effective storage methods. To arrange items so that they are easy to use and label them so that they are easy to find. You have to establish a neat layout so that you can get what you want when required. This eliminates search. Time is not wasted in searching for things. After using, the items should be kept back in the same place.

Visual cues like arrows, signboards, signs, display boards, labels, separators, have to be made use of. Things have to be identified. Items can be categorized. For example, nuts and bolts can be kept together. Nails together, screws together, spanners together, and so on. You can even keep items operationwise. Tools required for a certain operation can be kept together.

Seiton also includes painting floors, placards to designate proper storage locations and methods, outlining work areas and locations and installing modular shelves and cabinets.
